Fantastic hotel and wonderful staff. The location, just outside the walls of the old town, was perfect.

Such a charming BnB! The place is filled with unique, different art. Our room was so tastefully decorated and big!
Breakfast was great with many selections of pastry and other food. No meat selection, though
Staff was friendly and helpful.
Great place to stay!

Overall, one of the nicest hotels we've ever stay in. Reasonable prices and large rooms that are elegantly decorated with a fabulous bathroom and shower. All the owners (3 I think) were gracious and welcoming. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing stay - couldn’t have asked for more. The place was absolutely beautiful and the essence of French culture, the staff made us feel like family, the room was top notch and so clean with daily cleaning by the owners. They were so accommodating, helping us with our bags and making sure we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for a charming, quiet, peaceful stay in the heart of the Vance “village”, then this is your place! We hope to come back another time

We loved our stay and place. The rooms and decoration all over this place was magical and full of detailed art work. Our host, Antoin and his dad (the owners) were so kind and loving - sharing every details and support and tips and help and allowed us to check in early helped us with our bags and told us where to park and how best to enjoy our times in this magical region. They offered us amazing breakfasts and we would love to come back here and experience these gorgeous family owned and run 5 rooms or you could say apartments - loved them. Thank you all and thank you Expedia for recommending this amazing place

The guest house was charming and perfectly situated to walk to restaurants and the beautiful Rosary Chapel designed by Henri Matisse. Art and objet d’art fill the room and staircase. The people there were friendly, helpful and lovely to talk to. A wonderful experience in Vence.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The room was beautifully decorated, the bathroom was spacious, and the collection of books about Henry Matisse added a unique and artistic touch to our stay.
The breakfast was outstanding, providing a delightful start to the day. The staff were thoughtful and friendly, ensuring we felt welcome and well-cared for throughout our visit.
Additionally, the hotel’s location was very convenient, offering easy access to the surrounding historical area, which made exploring even more enjoyable.

L'emplacement est génial, le propriétaire s'occupe de tous les souhaits et de chaque détail d'une manière charmante, le mobilier est exactement ce que j'aime, merveilleux, coloré, vivant, des détails infinis, baroques ! Un hôtel très spécial où il faut se sentir à l'aise ! Quelque chose comme un conseil d'initié que vous n'avez pas vraiment envie de transmettre. Merci pour tout!

This well located guest house (just beyond the old city walls) is unique and charming in every way. The decor is quirky, eclectic, vibrant and fun. The breakfast was generous and very good. Our rooms were large, clean, well appointed and comfortable. The small team of staff and owners was very friendly, attentive and helpful in advising on itineraries and making restaurant suggestions and reservations. Our three night stay here was a distinct highlight in our vacation and we feel lucky to have discovered it and the delightful town of Vence. Highly recommended.

La sensation d’être accueillis chez des amis, dans un décor de magazine de déco. Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans un appartement plein de charme, très confortable, avec des hôtes aux petits soins, aimables, charmants qui apportent autant de soin à l’entretien des chambres qu’au petit déjeuner.

Beliggenhed i top op til den gamle bydel. Spændende indretning af værelserne. Morgenmaden dejlig varieret, hvor personalet samtidig gav info på udflugter i omegnen af Vence.
Ophold og ejendom med masser af positiv atmosfære.
